    horchata

  18. I suppose a grower? I quite liked the flourish near the end before the plug gets pulled and then you’re like hmmmm? was that what I expected to hear right out of the gate for the next Vampire Weekend album or was the release of this particular tune all a well crafted decision to kill us with kindness…mysteries indeed!

    I can hear the sound of a bunch of people googling to find out what Horchata is.

      Not me though, I definitely knew what it is. Horchata is; Horchata or orxata is the name for several kinds of vegetable beverages, made of ground almonds, sesame seeds, rice, barley or tigernuts (chufas).

  20. Alan Knut  |   Posted on Oct 5th, 2009

    I like it.

  21. If the rest of the album is like Horchata, then the rest of the album is very, very good.

    Another record full of obscure references to luxury items. Whoopee….

  23. it’s one of two things:
    the countdown to the next Twilight movie- Vampire Week: End of Days.
    or
    the countdown to the new shoe line from Sperry- boating shoes with built-in toe pinchers designed to keep you from falling asleep while checking out the new Vampire Weekend album.

  24. Does horchata count as a luxury item…?

  25. Depends on your salary I guess…

  26. the beginning of the most dangerous game: Vampire Weekend edition. Be forewarned, they now hunt humans.
